Today's trade is in a name that recently broke a 52-week high, yet on a longer term horizon appears to be climbing the right side of a much larger base.

I don't think the energy and oil services bull market is over. I think there's much further to run. So I'm going to take today's buying opportunity to get positioned for a run into the end of the year.

The vehicle I'm using is Valero Energy $VLO...

We put on a July/March $400 call calendar spread in $GE back on June 1 for a $16.00 net debit.

But this wasn't intended to be a "set-and-forget" trade.

This company and this stock needs no introduction. But quietly, the stock has been kissing all-time highs and it appears to be ready to pop.

It's time to get involved.

Banks and financials are leading this next leg higher in the markets and I'm feeling underexposed, with only a Canadian bank on the books.

Srsly with this name?

The name/ticker for this company is unfortunate. 

But the set looks great. And in the end, they are all just letters and symbols with dollar signs attached. 

Let's make some money.

I love trains

I really enjoy trains. When I lived in Chicago, I rode the elevated train ("The EL") nearly every day. I would often head downtown to the Metra train terminals and take those longer commuter trains out to the farthest reaches of the Chicagoland region...

Markets are slippery this morning and some leaders are enduring some well deserved pullbacks.

Today's trade is in a name that once treated me very well. Since then, it built a solid base. It recently had a fake breakout, but has since retraced back to the highs. That feels very bullish to me.

I'm here to see if it can have a repeat of...

Roku got bought. Fox is paying $160 a share. If you owned the stock, good news.

We owned a June/October 150 call calendar spread, and that headline is exactly why we're closing it.

Today's trade is in a name my analyst team says resides "in the sweet spot between a profitable biotech and a traditional pharmaceutical company."

But more importantly to me, the stock is finally breaking out of a decade-long base.

Victoria's Secret recently changed their ticker to $VSXY.

This selloff is spooking a lot of people, and VIX is ripping higher. 

And the leading sector over the past several months is displaying some of the highest volatility.

Today's trade is in an old name that's been around many moons and is constantly reinventing itself.

Remember Ford? It's a name that's easy to forget about when talking about the future of automotive.

But the chart today is suggesting it might be time to throw the family in the back of the truck and head off for a ride.

The bulls are on a bender, and my portfolio reflects this. 

I'd like to add some short-term neutral-to-bearish exposure, if for nothing more than a portfolio hedge.
